Hi there!
As someone whoās less excited about the visual interface changes yet still a lifetime member, would there be an ability to opt out from this new 1.8 interface change and say stick to the old skin?
Thank you

I have just been looking at some pictures of the new 1.8 release and suddenly realised that they finally got rid of the white letters against black background and they also got rid of the blue fonts everywhere. Wow, Thatās really really great, something I was hoping for for years now. Many many thanks for that one.
Can we expect Dark/Light mode to follow the host system defaults e.g. iOSās āAutomaticā setting?
Typically beta testers are chosen because they have average gear.
You want to ensure it works for the broadest group of users, not an extreme on either end. Who cares if it runs well on the top 1% or poorly on the bottom 1%, you want it to be perfect bang in the middle.
Also thereās a big difference between being a beta tester and an early adopter / guinea pig. If you are being paid you are the former, if you are paying you are the latter.
Unless I am missing something have they decided to NOT display the āVersionā of an album on the album page?
That would be me

No. If your customer base has a variety of gear then Beta testers are chosen with a variety of gear.
You are correct, but still a variety of the most common hardware.
But realistically people are often as not picked because they will say something nice, regardless of other merits or equipment they may use.
Itās still there. The albums used in the marketing material probably donāt have any Version data.
Iām very excited about the new release. Iām also hopeful the Roon team has made some maintenance fixes like for the spinning wheel that continues to spin even after all music is added to library. That issue started late last year and just hope theyāve made some changes to address this and other performance issues. I will be glad to update when it arrives next week.
Thanks guys!
Can someone screenshot or print out the email2 and attach it? I didnāt receive email 1 or 2 and it would be nice to see the new info. Thank you!! 
Thank you!!! You are awesome!
I highly doubt that beta testers are paidā¦ Iāve been a beta tester for several software houses throughout my career, never saw a dime for it. Hope Iām wrong and if so itād speak very highly of Roon!
SFAIK neither Alpha nor Beta testers are paid.
Thanks to all at Roon for the 1.8 update, looking forwardā¦
PS Better have Dark Mode or Iāll be madder than a mad thing being mad 
Out of interest, JRiver declined to state their number a few years back on the basis of business confidentiality
Fair I suppose
Looks like little more than a UI change that I for one donāt need.
What I DO need urgently has not been addressed: native support for Mac M1 so I donāt have to use Rosetta and secondly roon core running on my AK DAP!
I hope I shall have the option not to move to 1.8.
